Essential Manners For Men, 2nd Edition

What To Do, When To Do It, And Why

Who says men don't care about manners? In 2003, Peter Post penned a New York Times best-selling book on manners for men. Now, he's completely revised and updated that book for a new era. From Facebook manners and online dating to dressing for the occasion and men's most annoying habits, Peter Post teaches men how to behave. Essential Manners For Men, 2nd edition is full of Peter's self-deprecating humor backed by his rock-solid etiquette advice that will appeal to men who are searching for a new job, looking to impress their significant other, or who just simply want to enchance their character.

Sharp, savvy, and sensible—and filled with accesible sidebars, tips, and stories from Peter's own experiences—Essential Manners for Men, 2nd edition has been updated to reflect the realities of our modern times with all new material, including:

Social media: social networking, gaming, and the world of online dating

Communications in person: greetings, handshakes, and how to make the all-important good first impression

Communications on-the-go: texting, e-mailing, and using smartphones

Life changes: dealing with bumps in the road, from divorce to layoffs

Weddings: the man's role, from groom to best man to usher, and the changing nature of the bachelor party
